Staying in Melbourne

Melbourne is set up for travellers of all styles and needs. The city boasts a wealth of serviced apartment options for long stay or short-stay accommodation needs, as well as reliable and versatile public transport options. As for things to see and do in Melbourne, the city can lay claim to many of Australia's top cultural and sporting centres, including the National Gallery of Victoria, the Melbourne Museum, the Princess Theatre, Rod Laver Arena at Melbourne Park, and Marvel Stadium. Melbourne also hosts some of Australia's - and the world's - top live sporting events, including the Melbourne Grand Prix, The Australian Open, and international Cricket tests.

With a global sensibility - perhaps the product of the many different nationalities that have formed Melbourne's cultural fabric over the years - the city also boasts a world-renowned dining scene. Melbourne's 'all-night' culture, especially in the Melbourne CBD, means you'll find dining to suit every taste and budget almost any time of day or night.

Fashion-forward Melburnians will tell you the city is also a hub for Australia's top designers - and they'd be right. Notable fashion hotspots include Collins St in the Melbourne CBD, Brunswick St in Fitzroy and Chapel Street in South Yarra, which is easily reached by public transport from the city centre.

Arts, history and culture

Melbourne's reputation as a thriving cultural hub is well deserved. The city features a remarkable variety of arts, history and cultural venues and experiences year-round. Lovers of history will enjoy the Melbourne Museum with its range of permanent and temporary exhibitions focused on the history of Victoria. Art enthusiasts will revel in an exploration of the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV), which hosts some of Australia's and the world's most important artistic works.

Looking for something a little more offbeat? Explore the laneways of the Melbourne CBD for an ever-changing public collection of graphic street art, or head to Fitzroy where you'll find an eclectic range of small galleries. Closer to your serviced apartment accommodation, turn left on La Trobe St from Exhibition Lane and enjoy a short walk to the State Library of Victoria.

Sports aplenty

Melbourne is a year-round sport and sporting events city, with a long history of hosting major local, national and international sports including football, tennis, cricket and horse racing. Ask any Melbournian though and most likely they'll say the king of sports is Australian Rules Football, otherwise known as 'Aussie Rules' or the AFL. Between March and September, catch the country's top teams in and around the Melbourne CBD at notable venues including the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). The MCG is easily reached by public transport from Fraser Place Melbourne's serviced apartments.

Better business

As Australia's second-largest city, Melbourne is a centre for business. Many of Australia's top companies are domiciled in the Melbourne CBD for the convenience and proximity to services the city's excellent layout and public transport affords. The Melbourne CBD has plenty of serviced apartments for short stay use by business travellers looking for comfort and convenience, close to many of the city centre's main integrated office and retail complexes.
